Senate Bock Beer History

This historic Senate Bock recipe comes from a 1948 “Report of Analysis” from The Wallerstein Laboratories found at the National Archives. The report provides Bock’s color, strength, and technical details that are of great importance to brewers and quality assurance managers. Chr. Heurich Brewing Co. (1872-1956) placed Senate Bock advertisements in local newspapers from 1878 to 1941, however the report is from seven years later. It is unclear how often the beer was brewed as it was a unique beer for the Heurich Brewery to produce. In addition to the report, Senate Bock was brewed with documents in the Heurich House Museum’s archives, specifically “A See Trip Through A Great Brewery” (circa 1937) and The Heurich 1933 Brewery Plans and Blueprints scans.

Stop by our biergarten or Right Proper to taste the brew and take home a 6-pack from March through July annually.
